2008-10-23T12:52:33-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Really if you are thinking of living at Alexan Lofts it is in your best interest to rethink that. Lets start with the property management or lack thereof.

Alexan Lofts: The TRUTH behind no HD.... (Recommending!)

2008-10-16T15:10:47-06:00

From PhilipMarine17: The lack of high-speed broadband internet and HD services is flat out unacceptable. I am continuously told that "it s a historic landmark" and that s why they can not upgrade.

2008-08-12T11:50:40-06:00

From delock: What do you expect as for as light bills. You cannot blame it on the apartment when cost of power has skyrocketed over the past couple of years due to the rising cost of fuel.

Alexan Lofts: HORRIBLE PROPERTY STAFF AND MANAGEMENT (Not Recommending)

2008-08-07T14:57:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I do not recommend at all, sadly my time frame has been way too long. The price might fit your budget and the older buildings may be aesthetically appealing and you can probably get used to the train noise, but don't be fooled...the on site management is rude and do ...

Alexan Lofts: Excellent choice! (Recommending!)

2008-05-13T09:25:46-06:00

From pleaseheedmywarning: I lived at this place for 3 years. I loved the loft lifestyle, if thats what you are looking for. The noise is an issue, the walls/floors are "thin" but the building is 140 something years old, and the train is loud but I got used to it. The neighborhoodi ...

Alexan Lofts: Don't Live Here! (Not Recommending)

2008-03-14T10:23:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Alexan Lofts is a complete nightmare. I was excited to live in a historical building in downtown Houston, but have regretted choosing this complex every single day since moving in six months ago. As might be expected, maintenance issues arise when living in a 100 year old building. However, the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: Mismanagement nightmare (Not Recommending)

2007-08-01T08:45:13-06:00

From officeweenie@gmail.com: If you are thinking Alexan Lofts for a place to live, think again. Pay close attention to the comments of others, be sure to ask the management lots of questions using only single syllable words, speak slowly and repeat often.

Alexan Lofts: Good Experience (Recommending!)

2007-07-29T09:18:56-06:00

From alexanreview: The Alexan Lofts itself is actually a good place to live. We lived on the courtyard side of the building and our heating and cooling bills were very low. We had no repair issues.

2007-07-06T13:53:26-06:00

From moss.annette@gmail.com: I am a long term resident of the Alexan lofts and I agree with most of the comments I've read on here.

From -Anonymous-: Guess what?
If you apply here at Alexan Lofts, and then either do not get approved or decide a day later you can not go through with the lease, then they will not refund your $500 deposit. EVEN IF YOU HAVE NEVER MOVED IN OR LIVED THERE. They will just ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: Long term resident (Not Recommending)

2008-03-26T00:36:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived at the Alexan lofts for a few years now and most of what I've read on here is basically true. Living in a building that is over 100 years old is amazing though.

2006-10-13T15:56:52-06:00

Alexan Lofts: just say no (Not Recommending)

2006-10-06T13:48:24-06:00

Alexan Lofts: NOt as Bad As these reviews state (Recommending!)

2006-09-20T10:51:42-06:00

From ashmatical23: I signed a lease here and was PARANOID to move in because of these reviews. Everyone complained about the train and the noise, the bad area, the crime, etc. I've lived here for a few months and I don't have any big complaints. These are pretty cool lofts for the ...

Alexan Lofts: Beautiful, but been a big MESS! (Not Recommending)

2006-08-07T12:15:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: These lofts are truly beautiful. Our loft has wood beam ceilings and brick walls. Our bathroom is totally marble. It really was great for the price. Then after we moved in, we realized that the guys above us have the wood floors that are our ceilings. You can hear EVERYTHING ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: Great value for historic loft w/ character (Recommending!)

2006-07-11T18:34:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived at the Alexan lofts for two years before I moved away. Although the neighborhood looks "transitional," I never had a problem. I took the public transportation bus into downtown for work, which was of average repute.

In terms of rebuilt lofts, the square footage and layout of my loft, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: Can't Wait To Leave (Not Recommending)

2006-06-19T12:00:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I will start with the positives, as that list is short:

Fitness room is useful (when the treadmill is working)
The pool area is quite nice
The outdoor grills come in handy
Mama Ninfa's (try the "tacos musicos")
Conference room (hard to get visitors in, though)
The Buffalo Bayou. It ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-05-27T18:09:47-06:00

From storm666: The management was so nice when Lindi and Jason were a team. They helped me to adjust and were always there to give me the solution or response I needed. However, when Lindi left and Jason became manager, I still adored Jason but that BIT*H who became Assistant manager was ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: Like a prison (Not Recommending)

2006-05-20T15:47:26-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The buildings are fantastic -- true warehouse loft conversions with high, wood ceilings, brick walls, wood and concrete floors. The problem is it feels like you're living in a minimum-security prison, and you're a prisoner! I think many of the tenants are in the witness protection program(they don't speak or ...

Alexan Lofts: Great apartment, lousy company (Not Recommending)

2006-04-12T17:54:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: As others have commented, this apartment is extremely nice inside. They are large, unique and a short distance to downtown.

Although people complain about the neighborhood, it was the same if not worse when they moved in, so you made that decision. Live with it. I agree that the neighborhood is ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: Liked it more at first (Recommending!)

2006-04-06T04:53:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: These are nice apartments. Aesthetically they are great. The location isn't the best since the area is still developing but there is easy access to most nearby highways. The original Ninfa's is nearby, but that's about it. Some issues are not dealt with as quickly as they should be. Our ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: same old story... (Not Recommending)

2006-04-05T22:21:41-06:00

From ROMETTU: I live here and it�s true you do get treated as if you are a piece of s@#!

2006-02-08T12:37:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Let me first say I don't live here, just went on a tour to see if I wanted to move in. The leasing lady was a complete witch. It is an average at best loft complex that is WAY overpriced. My favorite part, however, was while walking through the courtyard, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: A CHANGE OF OPINION (Not Recommending)

2005-11-02T19:04:40-06:00

From estabar: I moved here last year and must say my thought of the place has changed. For all future residents, DO NOT MOVE INTO BUILDING #1-4, if you do not like the sound of noise. These buildings have the original hardwood floors, therefore you WILL HEAR EVERYTHING. The place is beautiful, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: A lot of messy people live here.... (Recommending!)

2005-10-03T19:42:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I love my new apartment and its location. The apartment is spacious and I love the gym. The train doesn't bother me at all...I knew that it was there when I leased the place.

Alexan Lofts: Very Satisfied! (Recommending!)

2005-08-19T11:55:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Some of these other reviews make no sense to me. When you moved here, you knew there was a train nearby! But no matter where you live, there will be noises. If you live downtown, there are bar hoppers and construction. Medical Center has sirens. Apartments aren't going to be ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: Front office completely disorganized, DO NOT LIVE HERE (Not Recommending)

2005-08-08T13:54:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I was really excited to be moving into Alexan Lofts. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm quickly vanished when my apartment number was changed 3 times, including once on move in date. That meant I had to change utilities three times, change my address three times, set up DSL three times, etc. The ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: Thrilled to be leaving! (Not Recommending)

2005-06-13T14:48:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Wow, I hated, hated, hated this place. Not only is the location removed from all essentials (a gas station was recently opened about a block away), the train is constantly stopped on the tracks and is a pain to deal with. The walls are thin (you can hear people walking ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Lofts: Great Place...but be prepared to deal with the train. (Recommending!)

2005-04-11T11:50:59-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've been here since February and don't have any major complaints. We're in building 6, first floor, within 30 feet of the railroad track. It is the train horn as it approaches the crossing that makes the most noise. The rumble of the train once it is through the intersection ... [click to read full apartment review]

From yahoo@simplified.net: I'm in building 3, the same one as the leasing office, wood floors. You get used to the train -- I can't believe people actually wear earplugs. They don't belong in a loft. This place is beautiful, it's much different than any other place, especially manufactured lofts built from the ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: I must say, I had been looking at loft living for quite sometime. I had visited several lofts before my move and NONE compared to the Alexan Lofts.

From Downtowntx: I have lived here at the Alexan Lofts way before it ever was the Alexan Lofts. This building was once known as the Americas and let me tell you things have improved alot since then.

From -Anonymous-: The Alexan lofts are very pimp and I would recommend them over any apartment or midrise apartment in the downtown/midtown area.

Alexan Lofts: Renewing My Lease (Recommending!)

2004-06-08T00:00:00-06:00

From ThePumpKinKing: I've been at Alexan since summer last year, and I must say I think the first few reviwers here must live in Building 1. This building is by far the noisiest of the bunch. The reason for this is simple; these buildings were built in the late 1800's and one ... [click to read full apartment review]

2004-05-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you like the sound of a train horn while sitting on the tracks with no ear protection, then you'll love Alexan Lofts. If you like vibrations, hearing your neighbors breath next door, loud footsteps caused by hi-heals, slamming doors, rude staff, then Alexan is right for you! Oh, did ...
